Shipwreck or sea mystery · 18.04.1905
Stella Maris, crushed by spring ice off Keri
Stella Maris was a sailing ship built in 1875 at Pekela in Groningen, the Netherlands, and owned by Gebr Drenth. In April 1905 she was carrying coke from Rotterdam to Narva. On 18 April, north of Keri island in the Gulf of Finland, she ran into heavy ice. The pressure opened a leak and the ship sank. Her crew survived. The Estonian Maritime Museum found the wreck on 3 June 2005, almost exactly a century later. It is a cultural monument in the Estonian economic zone. The pin uses the position given in the heritage records, north of Keri lighthouse island.

Eesti keeles
Stella Maris oli 1875. aastal Hollandis Groningeni provintsis Pekelas ehitatud purjelaev, mille omanik oli Gebr Drenth. 1905. aasta aprillis vedas laev koksi Rotterdamist Narva. 18. aprillil sattus laev Soome lahes Keri saarest põhja pool rasketesse jääoludesse. Laev sai leki ja uppus. Kogu meeskond pääses eluga. Eesti Meremuuseum avastas vraki 3. juunil 2005, peaaegu täpselt sada aastat hiljem. See on Eesti majandusvööndis asuv kultuurimälestis. Märgi asukoht vastab registriandmetele Keri tuletornisaarest põhja pool.
